Creatures

Famous quotes containing the word creatures:

    O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
    And live upon the vapour of a dungeon
    Than keep a corner in the thing I love
    For others’ uses.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Unignorant,
    modest and unemotional, and all emotion,
    he has everlasting vigor,
    power to grow,
    though there are few creatures who can make one
    breathe faster and make one erecter.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
    And live upon the vapour of a dungeon
    Than keep a corner in the thing I love
    For others’ uses.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
